Default Been a while... '32 Ford hot rod build

It's been QUITE a while since I've been on here. Some people may remember my old cars on here, '94 Civic and a '93 Integra I built back in the day.






I sold all my Hondas and parts to move on to my roots and what I grew up with, as well as to start my own business. A few months ago, a group of guys and myself opened up Queen City Hot Rods, building strict traditional style hot rods. No rat rod or junk stuff here, most of the cars we do, take quite some time to build, a lot of parts hunting and plain old dedication and patience. I'm going to put the build of my own personal '32 Ford tudor sedan on here for those who might want to follow it. It's an all steel car, never a spot of rust, never a patch panel. Everything posted on here is done in house. All fabrication, paint, welding, etc... We can make pretty much anything we think of, having a laser, water jet, Strippit machines, 20ft kick shear, Bridgeports mills, 40 ton press, at the fabrication facility.

My '32 like I said before is an all steel body, getting chopped 5.5" in front, 5" in rear, with power being a '55 DeSoto 291 hemi, bored to a 306, 11.0:1 compression, 330 ported heads, .550 lift 272/.050 duration solid roller cam, Weiand 4x2 intake setup, Stromberg carbs, backed by a World Class T5 and a Halibrand quickchange rear end. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking, I hop some of you guys enjoy!

-Brian

I'm using a Schroeder steering box that mounts under the dash. The steering comes out of the side of the body to a steering arm up front on the spindle. It's a simple setup that looks really damn good. I'll get pictures of it up soon.

Tonight I got the body all mounted up and the firewall in, I also mocked up the front floor, hopefully I'll be tackling that tomorrow!

Not yet, it has to be bolted to the frame, doors adjusted and aligned, then all braced before any chopping. It's getting chopped 5 1/2" in front, 5" in rear.

I made the mounts, and wiring harness from front to back. Beat Hasport to the punch at their own game.

HI Panda Hatch,

I am a fan of your work and my mouth waters when i see your restoration projects haha! I absolutely love your two Honda builds and i was wondering if i could ask you some questions about your 92 integra K series swap.
